Name Date Class What Is Heredity? If the statement is true, write true. If the statement is false, change the underlined word or words to make the statement true. 1. 2. 3. 4. The scientific study of heredity is called fertilization. A hybrid organism is the offspring of many generations that have the same form of a trait. Capital letters are used to represent recessive alleles. Mendel called an individual that has one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a trait a purebred. 5. Mendel said that the factors that control a trait exist in pairs. 6. Mendel’s experiments showed that the traits of an offspring were not a blend of the characteristics of the parents. Write the letter of the correct answer on the line at the left. 7. What Mendel called factors are now called A heredity B genes C purebreds D traits 9. A seed can be round or wrinkled. Seed shape is A a trait B an allele C a factor D a gene 8. 10. When parent plants are crossed, scientists refer to the first generation of offspring as A P B F2 C 1F D F1 The alleles for a hybrid tall pea plant are represented as A TT B Tt C TS D tt
